Bridging the Gaps in Transit and Housing Funding - San Francisco needs more affordable housing, a robust public transit system, and fully funded social services if it is to remain an efficient, diverse, compassionate city. Unfortunately, some political leaders have pitted transportation and housing activists against one another in recent years, particularly so in the upcoming election on Prop. A, B, K and L.
Forum will provide some background for you on how public transportation service and facilities are paid for, and then they will examine how the conflict happened, the political tactics that are being employed, and what can be done to bridge the gap along with a panel of activists and experts.
